HBO has the canny knack of uncovering brilliant new show-runners and writer, or elevating established ones to new heights of popularity – and few have seen that more than Succession's creator Jesse Armstrong. A veteran of TV writing for decades, he's now a huge figure in the scene after nearly countless awards showered upon the brilliant media empire drama.
Now, it looks like Armstrong and HBO are back for another project with some very similar themes, in the form of the newly unveiled and trailed movie Mountainhead, which will hit Max (or Now here in the UK) on 31 May. It looks like a brutal satire of the billionaires who control so much of our information ecosystem, just like Succession was.
